(Episode 66)
Who is that...
in that photo?
She's my mother.
Did you find a place to stay?
I think I'll have to wait a month.
I'll find a place for you within a week, so you should go.
I don't think I can do that.
How can I just leave when Mr. Kang is being so thoughtful?
Why can't you ever do anything the first time I ask?
Well, you always ask me to do things that I can't do.
What?
My feelings about you have subsided after hearing you're Mr. Jung's mother.
Someone will hear you. Don't say those things aloud.
Anyway, you brought Mr. Jung into the world.
Right, so if you're thankful, please get out of here.
I'll talk to Mr. Kang.
Why talk to him? Just go.
Still, how could I leave without talking to him about it?
You're really driving me crazy.
Get rid of that photo first.
Why?
Why would you put up a photo of a dead person?
This is just the room I'm using.
Put it away if I say so.
Why does it bother you?
You can just stay out of this room.
You never listen to me the first time.
Let's talk for a minute.
What is it?
Never mind.
Let's talk later.
What's so funny?
It would've been so nice to have a daughter.
A daughter?
You've never mentioned that before.
Seeing Young Shin makes me think of it.
She's so pretty,
and I've never been so happy to buy something for someone ever.
I'm going to send Young Shin away.
Why?
I'm as picky as you are, so having someone else in the home is uncomfortable.
Why are you uncomfortable?
Just accept it if I say I'm uncomfortable.
I'm going to take care of her like a daughter while she's here.
What should I buy her next?
Why are you buying her more things? She'll take it for granted.
Why would she take it for granted?
She's not like that.
The more I think about it, the more I like that man Jung Gyung Soo.
He did a great job raising her.
That's true.
I want to adopt Jung Gyung Soo and live all together in one home.
You want to live with him too?
Yes.
I guess this is why people say daughters are so great.
I guess so.
Not much has changed, but the mood at home has gotten brighter,
and I feel happier.
I didn't notice how pretty she was when she wore the kitchen uniform.
After seeing the photo, I found that her mother was very pretty.
She looks just like her.
I see. I didn't know her mother was beautiful.
Doesn't she also look quite like Jun Young?
What are you talking about?
They both have big eyes and are tall.
Why would she resemble Jun Young?
Right.
Now that I think about it, that doesn't make sense.
Find a studio apartment to rent within a week.
A studio apartment? Why?
I'm going to send Young Shin away.
She's not the type to talk rashly. Why are you being so sensitive?
She's improving the mood in the family, so it won't harm you in any way.
The mood of the family isn't what I'm worried about.
Uncle Jong Gwon likes her so much. How can you just send her away?
He's going to make you the president.
What good will come of ruining your standing with Uncle Jong Gwon?
He seems to love her like his own daughter.
Of course, he would.
She is his daughter.
Aunt Sook Jung.
The bond between a parent and their child is so strong.
That's why he was always supportive of Young Shin.
What do you mean?
Young Shin...
is your uncle's daughter.
How do you know that?
What?
It's hard to believe that Young Shin is Uncle Jong Gwon's daughter,
but how did you learn that?
I have to work, so you should go.
What's so fun about this?
If you keep it up, it's fun.
I'm so not made for this.
Do it even if you're not right for it.
They say you can quit gambling if you try this.
Who said that?
A very amazing person said it.
I didn't make it up. It's something people say.
No fish are biting, and I can't sit still like this.
- My back! - Just sit down and do it.
Do you want to be chased out of the house?
When will these dumb fish bite?
He came with his brother?
He's afraid of Mr. Kang as if he were his father.
He's a good person who takes nothing seriously.
Really?
When I walked out wearing a dress,
he clapped and said I looked like Miss Korea.
I guess you looked pretty in the dress.
He has a photo of it on his phone.
He took a photo?
I see you're getting along really well.
At the restaurant, Manager Seo was so stingy and unlikeable,
but now that I'm living with her, I'm starting to like her a little.
She cares about me a lot more than I thought.
That's a relief.
Everyone except one person is treating you well.
Do you mean Mrs. Choi?
She's uncomfortable around you, isn't she?
Still, I need to be patient and treat her well.
Why do you want to treat her well?
She's your mother.
Whose mother is she?
If she hadn't given birth to you, we never would've met.
I would've been in trouble.
Listen here, Miss Kim Young Shin.
Whose fault is it that we had to part?
I guess you're right.
You don't know how to hate people.
I'm not good enough. You raised me that way.
Right, it's all my fault. Who else would be at fault?
By the way, you look thinner.
I look thin?
You aren't skipping meals because I'm not here, are you?
I'm eating enough.
Mr. Jung, should we set a time for us to think about each other?
Wouldn't talking on the phone be better?
Right, we could talk on the phone.
That sounds a bit weird, though.
We had to live apart because of a weird rumor,
but if we call each other every night, it might look weird.
Then,
let's think about each other every night right at 11 o'clock.
If you can think, "Young Shin is thinking about me too,"
wouldn't it help you be less lonely?
Mr. Jung,
don't be lonely.
I'll always be thinking about you.
Even when we're apart, I can miss you.
What would Mr. Kang's brother like to eat?
I bought some cheonggukjang too.
Thank you.
While you're here, come in and have dinner.
No, I ordered some jjamppong.
Then you should've eaten before coming. I wasn't in a rush.
I missed you, so I just came quickly.
Isn't that her? Hurry and go.
No, she might feel bad if she sees me.
It was just someone who looks like her.
Have you been eating well?
Of course.
If I were to sit around listlessly,
people would hate her even more.
That would be bad, so I've been eating well...
and doing lots of deliveries as if I'd forgotten her.
Yong Goo.
You went on delivery after ordering food?
I bet it's all soggy.
Hurry and eat.
Don't eat that. How could you eat that?
I can't just throw it out.
Just order a new one. I'll eat that bowl.
We're running a business. It's normal to eat soggy noodles every so often.
I told you not to eat it.
Why are you being like this?
Normally you'd say, "Just eat it."
"It's all the same once it's in your stomach."
Yong Goo.
You don't have to pretend you're okay in front of your mother.
I'm okay. Nothing's wrong.
I've put it all behind me.
Are you really over her?
Of course. It was nothing.
A man can't keep whining about a woman.
You don't have to pretend you're okay so that I won't worry.
I'm your mother. I can tell how you feel.
Stop talking to me.
My jjamppong noodles are getting soggy.
I don't know why people say Yong Goo is slow.
There's no one with a sounder mind than him.
I can tell he's keeping it all inside so that his mother doesn't worry.
I know.
With Young Shin staying with us,
we came at dinnertime so we could eat all together.
Is it okay?
Of course.
We don't bite.
This is President Kang's younger brother.
My name is Kang Jong Woo.
I'm sorry to come without notice.
Don't worry. It's good to meet the people who live with Young Shin.
I even know your wife.
Right, you came to the restaurant.
You look very brave.
Has she been to our restaurant?
We even know Jun Young.
Really? When did he come here?
I guess I'm the last one.
I should've come earlier.
I always get the short end of the stick in the family.
My brother is the president, but I'm a driver for drunks.
Is that something to brag about?
I see Jun Young gets his good personality from you.
His mother says that his taking after me is a matter of eternal regret.
Let's eat.
What are you, the star of the night?
Everyone's interested in me.
I'm practically invisible at home,
especially to my wife.
Jun Young definitely takes after his father.
Then, does everyone know Sook Jung?
Of course. I've met her too.
Really? Why?
It was all a coincidence.
My name is Lee Wan Soo.
Enjoy the meal.
Yes, thank you for the meal.
Wow, this cheonggukjang is amazing.
How is it so delicious?
Now you know why I eat here every time I go fishing.
I really like cheonggukjang. How did you know?
Jun Young also asked how we knew he liked dakbokkeumtang.
He really is just like his father.
President Kang told me.
Sook Jung doesn't make it at home because it's smelly.
Jong Gwon, you never forgot that I like cheonggukjang?
Why are you being so gross?
Stop acting like a baby. You're too old for that.
He's the youngest, so he's not interested in growing up.
Please forgive him if he does something out of line.
What is there to forgive?
Please take good care of Young Shin.
Don't worry.
I'll make sure she is well cared for.
I really like it here. I actually want to live here.
My room is empty.
Really? Maybe I should lodge here.
Young Shin. The picture?
Right. Do you have the picture of me wearing a dress?
Of course, I do.
It was so stunning that I had to take a picture.
Here. Ta-da.
Goodness. Look how beautiful she is.
She's beautiful.
Isn't she pretty like Miss Korea?
Goodness. She really is pretty like Miss Korea.
It looks like Young Shin can stay in that house.
The president's brother seems to be a good man.
That family is odd.
The men in that family are likable in all their different personalities.
But none of the women are likable, no matter who they are.
It's a relief that Young Shin is doing well over there.
Wherever Young Shin decides to go, she'll get along well with anyone.
Because she's smart and kind.
Did Gyung Soo pack this for her?
I feel sorry about making him do this.
When I saw the president, it reminded me that Gyung Soo is Mrs. Choi's son.
Whose son? I told you, it's not.
He'd have no idea.
I said that's not true.
Da Jung will hear us.
Do you only care about stopping me from saying it?
I won't tell anyone. Don't worry.
Da Jung, your meal is ready. Come out and have some.
She's not even answering.
Are you sure she's inside?
She must've taken the key chain and locked herself in the room.
She hasn't left her room since that day.
Has she been eating her meals?
When I set the food on the table, she seems to have it when she wants.
It's dangerous for her to stay stuck there when no one's keeping her.
Dangerous?
Some young people don't want to be stressed out outside,
so they only stay in the house and don't even leave their front door.
That can become a serious problem.
What do you mean?
Honey, why don't we have her date Oh Bok?
- What? - Oh Bok is a nice guy.
Unbelievable.
She'd be able to get over this only if she feels loved.
We love her.
But she doesn't think we do.
Although we insist we love her,
she thinks that she's never been loved.
That's because she is just mean.
She should be lovable for us to love her.
She's our own child. But you know how nasty she's been.
Whatever she has done, she's our child.
Not Oh Bok.
We can't have her date Oh Bok.
I know what a sweet boy he is. But...
If things get out of hand, you might regret it.
Honey, I'm very disappointed.
In me? Why?
I know how you don't want things to be hectic,
so you have to get things over with as quickly as you can.
But how can you say you want to pair her up with Oh Bok?
Do you think I said it so my life won't be difficult?
Let's stop there. This will turn into a fight.
They were like a family. It felt warm and cozy. I loved it.
It's because they are such good people that Young Shin grew up so well.
That's the kind of home I want to live in.
You can go over often.
If you don't take me, I'll go there myself.
Thanks to Young Shin, both families are interacting.
Why would you say that?
That's not what that word is used for.
Both families go back and forth between houses. That's interacting.
What do you mean by a family?
They're not a real family.
Anyway, Young Shin feels like a gift from above.
A gift from above?
Mr. Jung. It's 11 p.m.
Are you thinking of me?
Of course, I am.
Because I can't tell you that I miss you,
you're not calling or texting me. I know that.
It's okay. We can think about each other like this.
Your arms will feel numb if you sleep like that.
Now that I see you like this, you've gotten older.
Sorry. I didn't want your arms to feel numb.
What time is it?
It's 3 a.m.
I see.
Why were you frowning in your sleep?
Was I?
Were you thinking about her before falling asleep?
No, I didn't. I got over her.
Don't worry.
Uncle, I'll be good to you in the future.
I'll forever live in the same house as you,
so don't feel lonely.
Don't say that. Or else you can't get married.
Why would you say that?
I'm not your parent.
If you say you'll live with an uncle who's growing old alone,
who will want to marry you?
That doesn't matter to me.
When Mother passes away,
I will go far away.
Far away?
Where to?
Wherever that is, I'll leave.
I don't want to be a burden to you.
Uncle.
I'll go around the country all I want.
You must be feeling frustrated.
Do you want to go off somewhere?
Since I was born,
I've never left this place.
Like wind or a bird,
I'll live going around places and die.
Why would you say you'd die?
You think...
people will have their next life after they die?
Do you want to have the next life?
Uncle.
If I were to be born again,
I wish I could...
be born the same way...
as other people are.
Uncle.
Oh Bok.
Can you do me a favor?
Tell me.
Don't hate her too much.
She's the only person...
that I've ever loved in my life.
Sure. I won't hate her.
Welcome. What brings you here at this time?
If you're hungry, can I make anything for you?
Do you know where Young Shin is staying?
Yes, I asked for it to Jun Young a while back.
Please tell me.
Why do you ask?
I guess it's not to write her a letter.
It's where Young Shin is staying. I ought to know where it is.
Are you going to go over?
I can call her to come outside.
She must still feel a bit awkward around that family.
Wouldn't Young Shin feel uncomfortable if you go over?
Why?
Do you not want me to go there and see Young Shin?
I'm not against it.
Okay. I'll ask Young Shin and tell you.
Mr. Jung, I want to tell you something.
Sure. What is it?
I still love Young Shin.
Why would you tell me that?
Can't you see what the right answer is...
for Young Shin?
The answer?
Young Shin will end up being with me.
That's what I hope for as well.
I don't believe that.
Which part?
It looks like you're at peace.
Do I look peaceful to you?
You don't seem to be in pain.
Do you think...
I'm not in pain because I'm smiling?
To think that people have such a misunderstanding of Young Shin,
I feel so sorry and pitiful that I can't take it.
Why are you looking away when the answer is obvious?
Jung Hoon, you've changed.
Do you know that?
Why are you becoming more coercive?
Young Shin also said you felt like an ill-fitting coat to her.
Ill-fitting?
Don't make excuses.
You don't want to let Young Shin go.
Do you want to dump Young Shin's life in a dumpster?
Jung Hoon.
Do you think I'll let it happen?
You're as pretty as any woman in the prime of her life.
But because you've been cooking since you were young,
your hands are coarse.
I've heard of these places...
where you can get a hand massage.
Why would you mind such trivial things?
I'll take her there next time.
I'll go to my room then.
Great job today. Goodnight.
Did you take the photo on the dressing table, Mrs. Choi?
What?
Where did you put it?
I couldn't find it anywhere.
Why would I take that?
Who else would take it if not for you?
What are you talking about?
That's the only picture of my mom that I have.
Please give it back.
Please give it to me.
Why would you take the picture of Ms. Kim's mother?
I didn't take it.
You told me to put it away.
Why did you ask her to put away her mother's picture?
(A Good Supper)
It looked precarious.
What do you mean?
Rather than being absent-minded,
he had a scary look in his eyes, and I had a bad feeling.
I told you to stop with your nonsense!
Are you going to act like a good person when your daughter is in that state?
She's done some nasty things.
Of course, she should be in a serious condition.
Da Jung is no longer in my heart.
You'll get married one day.
I guess I'd have to walk you down the aisle.
Everyone, gather up!
- No one's going to sleep today. - Goodness.
If it's not us, Jun Young, or Jong Gwon,
then it must be Sook Jung.
